South Carolina School takes flags on 9/11

A South Carolina high school principal’s decision to confiscate American flags from students’ vehicles on 9/11 has promoted meetings this week between school officials and outraged students.

WSPA-TV reported Principal Aaron Fulmer removed the flags from vehicles parked at Woodruff High School in Spartanburg, claiming rules forbid anything that creates a disturbance or draws an “unusual amount of attention.”

Four students came to school that day with “large American flags mounted on posts in their truck beds,” according to a GoUpdate.com report.

Fulmer took the flags down, then returned them to the students at the end of the day.
